EDIT: Gah. Sorry. The title is supposed to read Airport Extreme. Not Express.

Is there any way to use an external hard drive directly with my MacBook Pro and also by connecting it to my Airport Extreme?

I've read and experienced how for some reason Time Machine does the filing differently between the two. I want to be able to backup wirelessly at home but then be able to unplug my external and take it with me when I go on a trip without taking my router with me.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Please and thank you!
